I purchased about a hundred of the IBM mice on Ebay, so I’m good for a while. 

HP has a nice three button mouse currently, seemingly from the European part of 
the company. I’m using one now.

Acme, of course, is based on the Oberon System by Niklaus Wirth, modified to be 
imported into the Plan 9 system, so it does have a different feel from Sam. If 
you haven’t studied Oberon, I would recommend you do. It was an amazing 
tour-de-force by Professor Wirth. 

The use of Sam vs Acme was always pretty evenly distributed. Rob uses Acme and 
Ken uses Sam still.

At SouthSuite, one of the few places still based on Plan 9, use Acme uniformly.
